Menu text with external menu editing
Menu elements are transferred as a bitmap during PSD export as well as
during import of the edited PSD. This also applies to the text displayed in
the menu. This text may also normally be changed in the "Menu entry
properties" dialog. The menu text are adjusted if movies or chapters are
added or removed.
The PSD contains these texts as a bitmap and cannot be changed. During
importing, the bitmaps replace the original text entries. By the way, this is
maintained, and the font will only be set to a size of 0 so that texts are not
displayed in duplicate; the menu will therefore look identical after external
editing.
It is important that no more movies or chapters are added to the menu.
Otherwise the preview images, that have also changed along with the menu
structure will no longer match the bitmap text, since the bitmap text will not
match the changed references in the menu structure!
An example
A chapter with two entries is present. Entry 1 is named "travel preparations".
Entry 2 is named "arrival". A chapter named "the trip" is going to be added
between chapter 1 and chapter 2. The second chapter now becomes
chapter 3 and moves to the next menu page.
Normal text behavior: The second entry (now with preview image for the
newly inserted chapter) receives the new title "the trip". The next menu
page features chapter 3 as the first entry with the name "the trip".
Text after external menu editing: The second entry will feature the title
"arrival" (as a bitmap, as a component of the button), but the preview image
will feature the new chapter "the trip"! The next menu page now features the
preview image for chapter 3 (formerly chapter 2, "arrival"), this is now called
"travel preparations"! The name is a component of the button as a bitmap
for the first menu entry on the page, and this is "travel preparations" on the
first menu page. Completely out of order!
If the number of menu entries displayed is increased, this results from
copying the layer groups in the PSD (see below). Of course, the rendered
text layers are also copied into the layer groups, which results in incorrect
text again.
The best way to proceed is to edit the text entries at the very end, since
changes normally will not follow at this point. If changes are required
nevertheless, then proceed as follows:
